Food is a big part of any travel experience, and Finland offers some unforgettable flavors—especially in the snowy wonderland of Lapland. From hearty reindeer dishes and creamy salmon soup to blueberry juice, pastries, and even licorice ice cream, Finnish cuisine blends comfort, culture, and a deep connection to the land.

On a recent Women Who Explore trip to Finland, our group discovered just how unique (and delicious) the local food scene really is. This blog shares some of our favorite meals, tips on what to expect, and the flavors we’re still talking about long after the adventure ended.
